    Backstreet Boys meets Bon Jovi is a perfect description of this band. I would also like to throw in a Sammy Hagar fronted Van Halen for good measure with some Good Charlotte influences on the last 2 tracks. Keep up the good work, slaves.

    After their first album Fall Out Boy took a turn for the worst. They went from being a new and out coming band with catchy beats and lyrics to a sell out, and this album only proves that even more. It's not even worth buying.

    No matter how old you are, it's not okay to own this CD. Andrew W.K. is right on the money with how hilariously bad the artwork and the song titles are. Another flash in the pan band that will flicker away and become The Partridge Family of the 2000s. Their lead singer already looks like a fat Danny Bonaduce as it is.

    it is such a shame to see music like this get praised (at all) . apparently the critics are tuned in to top-20 radio all day long. oh well everybody can't have good taste right?

    Fall out boy WAS good before they made Infinity on high...why do they had to put the soft satan worship in their music. I speak for myself and a lot of other people when I say that fallout boy is just heading down hill. They need to make an album that doesnt have any of the dissing god stuff.

    I'm surprised this isn't a hit with the fans, it's got everything the like, annoying lyrics, annoying guitarmanship, annoying vocals, and music so simple to play a monkey could pass them up. Please, do yourself, and humanity as a race, a favor and don't buy this or listen to it.

    i used to love fall out boy, i have all their albums, and i must say the first 3 are amazing, but it's clear in this record that they have sold out. in 1 word this album is shit!, what ever happened to make a band that used to rock hard into whiny little turds? this album is poor at best

    We have entered a new era of musical degradation. I thought NSync and the Backstreet Boys were bad, but fucking hell, at least they didn't make any bones about being homos. These pfruit-cakes in glitter and women's pants masqeurading as "rockers" is enough to make any individual with an appreciation for musical integrity, or rock music, vomit.

Pop music, once one of the most moving, intelligent and satisfying forms of art has completely degenerated into a host of empty, shallow, hypocritical, stupid, assinine, unlistenable collections of affeminate, prima-donna scenesters, who happen to have played instruments for a couple of years. Music cannot be more predictable, forulaic, unoriginal, shallow and empty than this--except for their contemporaries, who are equally as worthless. Fuck Fall Out Boy. Fuck You. Listen to the Beatles.

    When will i ever stop hearing crappy manufactured pop music on the television and radio. this album shows little sign of any intelligent song writing except the occasional catchy beat that i have heard from Blink 182 and other indistinguishable major label pop bands.

    their lyrics are so ridiculously convoluted that it's clear they have little to say. It's easy to right a bunch of jabberwocky and claim to be smart . This is not a case of people misunderstanding their genius, they just make no coherent sense.

  1. For a band that was once so self-assured and able to utilize its talents so compellingly, the album is regrettably haphazard.

    Some of the band's most gut-wrenching and powerful melodies to date. [Mar 2007, p.133]
  3. Lo and behold, it turns out these pasty emo boys are a pretty great blue-eyed soul band.
